RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:$83 oilIt has long ben suspected that OPEC doesn't have the spare capacity that they claim to have. It's really an old story. People are not aware that most of the big Saudi oil fields (Ghawar included) were discovered in the 1940's and 1950's and have been on water-flood for decades. Even with the next step- tertiary techniques- they can't last forever. This is why new investment money was so important but I think that ship has sailed. You have to pay the piper.
